Prussian Order of the Crown 2nd Class with Swords.

Prussian Order of the Crown 2nd Class with Swords.

The Order of the Crown (Kronenorden) was a Prussian order of chivalry. Instituted in 1861 as an honour equal in rank to the Order of the Red Eagle, membership could only be conferred upon commissioned officers or civilians of approximately equivalent status.
This example of the 2nd Class award is die struck and finished in enamel and gold plate and comes complete with a black and silver ribbon. Although the award was normally presented with a blue ribbon, combat awards were conferred with a black and white ribbon similar to that of the Iron Cross. This is the combat version of the award and therefore comes with the appropriate ribbon.
The Imperial German WW1 gallantry decorations and military campaign medals offered by The Regalia Specialist are full size awards being die struck and carefully finished as closely as possible to original specifications.
